HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year you add a unique quality of endless creativity and dynamic energy. This could catch many people around you off guard. If you are single, the person you pick to date now might not be who you want to be with a year from now. Don't make any commitments. If you are attached, don't be surprised if you suddenly view your sweetie in a new light. Pisces can be challenging.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • ★★★ Pressure builds, and it might add a volatile quality to the day. A theme of friendship seems to permeate your interactions. People will be reactive, which could add some confusion. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • ★★★★ You could be triggered more than you would like to be. If you're smart, you will detach from the situation completely. Friendship is likely to play a big role in your plans. You might feel as if you need to give more of your support to a loved one. Tonight: Play the night away.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • ★★★★ You might want to rethink a situation involving someone you care about. You are much more visible than you usually are. Choose your words with care. Your mood could change in the blink of an eye. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) •★★★★ See what is going on with someone you care about. You will be able to develop some new patterns. A partner or close loved one might decide to be more thoughtful and reflective. Tonight: Go for exotic food.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •★★★ You could be exhausted by your repeated attempts to pacify a roommate or family member. You have seen this same situation build and explode in the past, so be careful. Indulge a loved one, but maintain certain guidelines. Tonight: Make peace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •★★★★★ Your ability to help calm others is likely to come into play. Understand that you might need to handle a personal matter differently. Tonight: Be gracious.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • ★★★★ Move in a new direction and see a loved one in a new light. An element of confusion might prevent you from expressing yourself. Tonight: In sync.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • ★★★ Your temper, strength and determination might be working against you. Understand that someone cares about you, even if he or she seems to be irritated. Tonight: Out late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • ★★★ Sit on a matter that comes across to you as unusually irritating, explosive and unmanageable. If you can take off for the day, do. As a result, you'll be able to recharge your batteries. Tonight: Order in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •★★★★ Start the day with optimism. A friend could be quite difficult. Realize that you are one of the few people who can hear this person and understand their needs. Tonight: Say "yes."

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • ★★★ No matter which way you turn or what you do, you could see a child or loved one as demanding and unreasonable. You might opt to take off for the day. Tonight: All smiles.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •★★★★ You might not know what to do with news. You could witness a friend's temper rise. Plan a calm activity for the two of you to do together. Tonight: Refuse to get deeply involved.
